The Korea Labor-Foundation is sending a four-day delegation to Ulaanbaatar to prepare Mongolian workers for Korea before they depart for factory and job-site work under the Employment Permit System. The program links predeparture training in Mongolia with post-arrival orientation in Korea to improve safety and reduce workplace accidents. The foundation also plans an AI-driven consultation service for foreign workers in early 2027. It renewed labor cooperation with Mongolian unions and discussed development aid projects with Korean officials in Mongolia.

Long before Mongolian workers board their flights to Seoul, their preparation for Korea's fast-paced industrial shop floors will now begin at home in Ulaanbaatar — part of a new push by labor officials to prevent workplace accidents before foreign hires even touch down.
The Korea Labor-Foundation (KLF) said Friday that Secretary-General Park Jong-pil was leading a four-day delegation to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, from Wednesday through Saturday to streamline the training and integration pipeline for Mongolian workers bound for Korean factories and job sites under the Employment Permit System (EPS).
